Disruption of the gut microbiota from its normalbalance, as well as its interaction with the host’s immune system, can influence host susceptibilityto infection and thus determining the consequence of infections by intestinal microbialagents. Diversity of gut microbiota is linked with several metabolic and immunological conditions,which makes it of great public health concern. Protozoa can exert a negative impact on gutmicrobial ecosystem balance due to niche competition or by influencing the local innate immuneresponse. Helminths, however, can have a positive impact by expanding bacterial populationsthat produce short-chain fatty acids and thus enhancing host's health status.
